In a card set as large and varied as the N172 Old Judge issue there's bound to be an error somewhere. That's what seems to have happened with this rare card which depicts Boston catcher/outfielder Cornelius "Con" Daily. The card was produced without any player or team identification the "Boston" that appears on Daily's breast in properly identified examples of this card missing from his jersey. The result is a rare variation an "anonymous" player in a set where the manufacturers paid extensive attention to detail. The card grades FAIR 1.5 due to a slight crease or tear at the right edge but the quality of the image is clear and crisp well-centered against clean borders. An interesting and rare N172 variation.
